AUTO2506

How engine torque is transferred to the wheels is the focus of this comprehensive drive train course. Students will learn the theory of torque multiplication and division, applying it to all automotive and light truck applications. Operation, diagnosis and repair of manual transmissions and transaxles, transfer cases, differentials, propeller shafts and front driving axles will be the main topic. This course includes All Wheel Drive and Four Wheel Drive applications. All aspects of driveline repair on automotive and light truck applications will be practiced, with the exception of automatic transmission and transaxle overhaul.Student Learning Outcomes
